[Grylls]

I became a bodybuilder about two years before going vegan and despite popular misconception, my muscle mass has not decreased. My body fat percentage did decrease and I have lost two or three pounds.

When I still ate meat to "supplement" my hungry muscles, I contemplated going vegan because a friend referred me to a site on vegan testimonials. My first thought was, "Will I get enough protein? Will I become the skinny person I once was?"

After doing some quick, but effective research, I found out that all the animal protein, which the majority believes is important for athletic performance, is in truth bad for us.

To get my protein, I eat a lot of beans, homemade whole-wheat bread, and any other protein rich carbohydrate.

Hello Bear Grylls, hehehe, I'm just kidding, BUT not kidding that this is the name of a man (ex-BritishSpecialForces) who has a survival billing here in the UK on *tv* (and elsewhere no doubt)

He's absolutely fab and seems to want to have a go at anything to show how we can survive in different parts of the world.

Anyway you know RobertCheeke don't you? (www.veganbodybuilding.com) (.ORG too)

Bodybuilding, yes I aspire to its influence on me and my physique, along with other fitness.

ALSO, www.VeganFitness.net FORUM is very essential for any enthusiast (or amateur).

on which site did you see testimonials of people testifying & endorsing what you wanted to hear about veganism ?

I'm just a fan of the man, Bear Grylls. I love his show that airs on the Discovery Channel in the US, Man vs. Wild.

I've seen pictures of Robert Cheeke, although I do not know much about him. Does he have a website that describes his routines and diet? He has a great physique!

One of the sites that had an account of vegetarianism written, was www.stevepavlina.com. It is a site about personal development. It has many interesting topics ranging from quiting coffee to lucid dreaming.

the website for RobCheeke is in brackets alongside where I spoke of him (the DOT*com* one).

and there is a link to his forum there too, which I believe has been AND IS a success also...
